Rules

One rule at our house, though not always followed, is to never go shopping for groceries when feeling hungry, too many impulse purchases will be made, and the final total at the cash register will be considerably higher. After a recent pity party that I attended, put on by my own feelings of doom during a memory lapse of Who is in charge of my daily bread this and every day, I discovered a new rule. Never make plans for the future on a gloomy day, Jesus has already told us to live one day at a time anyway because there will be enough to worry about this day with out compounding things by bringing in tomorrow. Perseverance to overcome adversity, this can be on a small daily scale as the Lord, our Good Shepherd directs us through life and strengthens our abilities to handle what comes. We can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens us to the point of victory over death. This world has been turning for a long time and will continue on as The Creator directs. The clouds of falling rain can be seen as wonderful blessings of future harvests and great bounty, terrible floods and life changing defeats, or as inconvenient puddle makers. Which ever we choose, the day will end, birds will sing and greet another sun rise, this is the day the Lord has made. Thank you Lord for all your great gifts, please may this be a good day today, in Christ name we pray Amen!
